1 Installation InstructionsPalladium Rigid Sheet/Rubrail or Palladium G2 sheet - Store Palladium Rigid Sheet in a clean, dry, interior area at temperatures between 50 F and 95 F [10 -35 C]. Keep out of direct sunlight. Make sure sheet is well supported. Store in a clean, dry, interior area Avoid direct sunlight Store between 50 F and 95 F [10 -35 C]Rolled Sheet Unroll sheet material immediately upon receipt and store in clean, dry, interior area at temperatures between 50 F and 95 F [10 -35 C]. Keep out of direct sunlight. If the rolled material does not lay flat, reverse roll the sheet until it does lay flat.

2 Make sure sheet is well supported. Keep sheet length to a maximum of 12' [ ]. When installing rolled sheet, follow the non-porous installation instructions. Unroll rolled sheet immediately Reverse roll material until it lays completely flat. Store in a clean, dry, interior area Avoid direct sunlight. Store between 50 F and 95 F [10 -35 C]. Keep sheet length to a maximum of 12' [ ]. For rolled sheet, follow non-porous installation hours before the installation, acclimate the sheet material and adhesive in the environmentally controlled area where it will be installed.

3 This area requires a temperature between 65 F and 80 F [18 -27 C]and a humidity level less than 80%. Maintain a constant temperature between 65 F - 80 F [18 -27 C]and a constant humidity level less than 80% in the installation area 24 hours before installation, during the entire installation and 48 hours after the ToolsPaint/Primer (if needed), Chalk Line or Laser Level, Level, InPro #545 Trowel, 1/8 [4mm] V-notches with [13mm] spacing between notches, Recommended Adhesive InPro Bond, XT-2000+ or 3M Fastbond 30, Smooth foam paint roller (for contact cement)

6 Remove any coatings designed to improve clean-up since these coatings may affect adhesion. Glossy surfaces may require sanding or priming to help promote adhesion. Do not install sheet if the moisture content of the drywall is greater than 4%.New drywall or plaster Walls must be smooth and wiped clean to remove dust. Seal or prime walls with paint or primer that does not contain Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc). Allow paint/primer to dry in accordance with the manufacturers application instructions. Remove Dust and Dirt Seal walls with paint/primer.

7 DO NOT use paint/primer that contains Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc)Painted Drywall or Plaster - Test painted walls for adhesion by applying a 12 x 12 [305mm x 305mm] pieces of Palladium Rigid Sheet in an inconspicuous area. Allow the test sheet to remain adhered for 24 hours. Remove test sheet, If paint has softened, strip the paint off the wall and reseal with a recommended paint/primer. Test the wall to make sure paint is compatible with adhesive. Strip the paint off wall if adhesives softens paint after and Concrete Masonry Units Fill surface of concrete walls with an appropriate filler to make it smooth.

8 Seal or prime walls with paint or primer that does not contain Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc). Allow paint/primer to dry in accordance with the manufacturers application instructions. Unfilled grout lines may telegraph through the sheet, especially with thinner sheet thicknesses. Fill concrete to make smooth. Seal concrete with paint/primer. DO NOT use paint/primer that contains Polyvinyl Acetate (PVAc)Non-Porous Substrates - Some non-porous substrates include metal, ceramic tile, high-pressure laminate, epoxy painted walls, vinyl wall covering (VWC) and rigid sheet.

9 InPro Bond and XT-2000+ adhesives can be used to apply rigid sheet to securely adhered vinyl wallcovering or rigid sheet and other non-porous substrates. Adhering rigid sheet over existing sheet or VWC will increase smoke generation and flame spread and negate the Class A fire rating. If you choose to do this, follow the non-porous installation InstructionsPalladium Rigid Sheet/Rubrail or Palladium G2 Sheet/RubrailCutting and Dry Fitting SheetsWhen handling sheet be careful and avoid kinking the sheet. Layout sheet location on the wall marking plumb lines and level lines where needed.

10 When laying out sheet allow a 1/16 [2mm] gap between sheet material and ceilings, floors, corners, door casings, window casings and between sheets. Do not install cove base directly over rigid vinyl sheet, vinyl wallcovering, Do not install cove base directly over rigid vinyl sheet, vinyl wallcovering, ceramic tile, metal or other non-porous surfaces. Overlap these materials with the cove base by 1/4 [7mm]. See Figure 1ceramic tile, metal or other non-porous surfaces. Overlap these materials with the cove base by 1/4 [7mm]. See Figure sheet material with a metal straight edge and a sharp utility knife.
